It will also drive the integration of AI and advanced analytics to enhance decision-making, while fostering effective relationships with system and tool providers to ensure solutions remain fit-for-purpose and future-ready.

The Programme Delivery Assurance Specialist plays a key role in supporting a high-performing, data-driven, and continuously improving delivery environment, as well as a higher level of collaboration across the organisation, cross-functional engagement and team-based decision-making.

• Experience in system administration or management of project delivery tools and related data systems
• A demonstrated ability to manage and maintain data quality, including the development and application of data standards
• A track record of driving continuous improvement, system implementation and innovation within processes and systems.

You’ll also be effective working in Agile and Value Stream environments, collaborating effectively face-to-face.
